| | Yuko Kimura A Beautiful Friendship CD Yuko Kimura Discography of CDs
Born in Tokyo, Japan, Yuko KIMURA is a jazz vocalist living in Tokyo, Japan. This is her debut recording in New York and Yuko is joined by three of New York's most respected instrumentalists: pianist Roberta Piket, bassist Cameron Brown, and drummer Gene Jackson. Because of her diminutive size, Yuko Kimura's high school basketball teammates called her 'Tsugumi', meaning 'Thrush', a name she still goes by in her native Japan. The songbird nickname also suits her because since Yuko also expresses her love of jazz through singing. In the early 1990s that great love lured the aspiring singer from her home in Tokyo to the jazz workshops at Manhattan School of Music and the Vermont Jazz Center. Her mentors and teachers include some of the most respected jazz vocal artists of our time: Sheila Jordan, Jay Clayton and Ann Marie Moss. Since then Yuko has performed in Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York City, Istanbul and Paris, in settings that have ranged from duos to big band, T0 accompanying herself on the piano. In 1997, she was honored as 'Best Player' at the Kichijoji Jazz Contest in Japan and was also named 'Finalist' by the 1995 Yokohama Jazz Promenade Contest. She has been singing in New York regularly since 2006 at venues such as Kavehaz, Manahatta Lounge and Smalls. Roberta, Cameron and Gene are well known as accomplished improvisers, and they get to display their solo talents throughout these ten tracks, but more than that, in the many ways that inspire and interact with Yuko, and with each other, they prove to be insightful and sensitive accompanists as well. Yuko is pleased to bring the vibration of her open heart and energy to everyone who hears her music. A Beautiful Friendship Music Yuko Kimura A Beautiful Friendship Songs | 1. | Love |

$6.69 In July 2001, Simon, Barrie and three other friends got together to form what they intended to be the greatest rock and roll experience known to man, "Any Given Day" was given life. Success quickly followed, TV appearances, sell-out gigs both here in the UK and in Europe, and self produced CD's that were well received. But with all that success comes greater demands, as life within the band changed, so did its members. Donna arrived in the first round of changes and several others have come and gone as the level of commitment and the sacrifices that need to be made in order to see your dreams come to fruition become ...

$23.29 | | Bill Carrothers & Wendy Lewis The Language Of Crows CD (2009)
A Beautiful Friendship CD music
$18.99 Wendy Lewis - voiceBill Carrothers - piano, voiceRecorded in 1999 at Creation Audio, Minneapolis, MN Jazz Magazine (France)Top 10 discs of 1999 Cadence - August 2000 Vol. 26 No. 8 - page 106Jerome WilsonCharles Ives is quoted on the liner card of this CD and he might have enjoyed this singular collection or altered hymns, children's rhymes, traditional songs and other unlikely selections. Lewis has a low, lush voice instead of the solemn soprano you might expect and that just emphasizes the quirky humanity of this session. It sounds very eerie when Lewis sings the old hymn "The Vacant Chair" over Carrothers' off-kilter piano or does childlike songs like "Doll House" and Savior Self" in a lush, sensuous voice. They put a lot of ill-fitting parts together in odd ways. There's even a German children's song done with whispered conversation and jangly piano. The only thing close to this is Ran Blake's occasional jaunts into Americana but ...
